Reminding people of the “unholy alliance” between the DMK and the Congress, AIADMK general secretary and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Friday asked partymen to take the government’s welfare schemes and achievements to every doorstep in the State.
At the Tirunelveli public rally, Ms. Jayalalithaa told partymen that the May 16 elections would be the harbinger of the State’s political future.
The “unholy alliance” that killed lakhs of Tamils in Sri Lanka had split then but has come together now posing as Siamese twins. She exhorted cadres to inform people that this alliance could be dangerous to the Sri Lankan Tamils fighting to reclaim their rights.
Voters should also be reminded that if the poison tree of family politics strengthens itself, it would be dangerous for individual freedom and how a single family controlled media houses, the film industry, cricket rights and almost all industrial ventures till 2011, she said. Besides, people should not be allowed to forget how the DMK local leaders indulged in land grabbing, she told her partymen.
On the contrary, the AIADMK had implemented various schemes including freebies like 20 kg rice for ration-card holders, mixers, grinders, and milch cows and goats. It also won several awards at the national level.
She claimed that her achievements included creation of 1.5 crore new job opportunities and setting up of the highest number of small and micro industries in the country.
